It is well known that cancer treatment can be an overwhelming journey, filled with physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges. Amidst the array of medical treatments and therapies, many people are turning to complementary practices to find additional support and comfort. Many have turned to reiki to support them during their cancer treatment journey.
Reiki's Role in Cancer Treatment
Cancer treatment often involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and other medical interventions. These treatments, while crucial, can take a toll on the body and mind. This is where Reiki can play a vital supportive role.
One of the most immediate benefits of Reiki is its ability to induce deep relaxation. For someone undergoing cancer treatment, this can be incredibly valuable. Many of my clients have found the effect of Reiki can help reduce anxiety, which is common before and after their treatments. By fostering a state of relaxation, Reiki can help my clients cope better with the stress associated with their medical journey.

Enhancing Emotional Well-being
Cancer and its treatments can bring about a whirlwind of emotions, including fear, sadness, and uncertainty. Reiki in my comfortable Newbury treatment rooms offers a gentle way to address these feelings.
Many of my clients report feeling more balanced and emotionally grounded after a reiki session. The compassionate touch during a Reiki session can provide comfort and a sense of connection, which is particularly important during times of isolation and vulnerability.
Managing Pain and Side Effects with Reiki
While Reiki is not a cure for cancer, it can be an effective tool for managing some of the side effects of conventional treatments. Clients have told me of experiencing relief from pain, nausea, and fatigue following one of my Reiki sessions. By supporting the body's natural healing processes, a Reiki treatment session can help alleviate discomfort and enhance overall well-being.
Reiki Supporting Holistic Healing
Reiki treats the person as a whole: body, mind, and spirit. This holistic approach can be particularly beneficial for cancer patients, who often need comprehensive care. My reiki sessions provide a safe space for individuals to explore their inner experiences, promoting self-awareness and spiritual growth. This can be a source of great strength and resilience.
Complementing Medical Treatments
It’s important to note that Reiki is not a replacement for medical treatment but rather a complement to it. Many healthcare providers recognise the benefits of integrating complementary therapies like Reiki into a patient’s overall treatment plan. By working alongside traditional medicine, Reiki can enhance the effectiveness of medical treatments and improve quality of life.
Testimonial and Personal Story
I was delighted to have received such a positive message from one of my clients who had been undergoing cancer treatment:
Georgiana has supported me in my journey of recovering from major surgery due to cancer. She has been the trigger in restoring my mind and body through her channelling of energy, giving me a great sense of peace, restoring my life force. Again, I can face the world. Thank you.
